Unbound Query Question
-
When a name is not found in the local cache then the local ISP DNS (google etc.) is checked. If it is not found does it go to the root DNS? I am unclear what the sequence is if the domain is not found in the local Unbound cache. If you have not checked forwarding for Unbound DNS are all domains not in the local sent to the root DNS?
Thanks for any clarifications

unbound wouldn't check google unless you have it in forward mode and point it there, if you have it in forward mode it would never walk down from roots and directly query authoritative servers.
Yes if you use unbound as out of the box, if not cached it walks down from roots to find the authoritative server for the domain your wanting to find a record in, and then queries that domains ns for the record your seeking.

Thanks for the helpful update. I have it set not to forward. What would you recommend?
